Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews. To answer RichaCo's question, the Deku have branch-like arms beneath all those leaves. I forgot to tell all of you readers that this is my first story. My friend got me on this site. His stories, which I suggest you read, are The Four Swords: 1,2, &3, and that is just naming a few. I hope you liked the last chapter and I hope you will like this one (It's spacing is set out more. ().
Link walked around the bodies of the four Deku. They were the only things left from his encounter, aside from the bows and arrows. The Deku appeared as they had always had to him. Little bundles of leaves with eyes and a mouth. Something about them though made him feel like they were different somehow. They looked different but he could not tell how. Their leaves looked strange for some reason. Then he noticed it. Markings. Their leaves were patterned with spirals, squares, lines, and other shapes. The markings appeared to be burned into the leaves. He left the bodies and went over to the arrows. When he examined them he noticed that they had markings too. They appeared to be a dark wood of some kind. Its feathers were from a crow. And it had the blackest flint that Link had ever seen, tied to the top. It looked rather evil looking to him so he dropped it quickly and turned to leave. All of a sudden he heard a noise that sounded like something was vibrating. He turned around to find the arrow lying next to the body of a Deku. Both of the patterns on the arrow and the Deku were dimly glowing a sickly blue. He got nearer to them to see what was making them glow when the Deku moved. Link froze where he was, his hand moving silently to his sword hilt. "Stupid....We were so stupid.....I told the others not to trust her...." Link crept up to the dying Deku. He noticed the large gash that ran from the Deku's head to his... um...waist.*" The others..... we were so stupid to get bribed by that.... that....oooooohhhh" ,said the Deku his words turning into a moan of pain. "Who bribed you?", Link asked quietly. Even though the Deku was dying he was ready to attack in case of tricks. The Deku looked to Link as if it realized he was just there. Link's excitement grew as it spoke." She did.... the woman......from the.....desert....", the Deku answered, his mouth slowly filling with it's own brown blood. "What's her name!?!", Link shouted at the excitement of finally being able to find out who was responsible for all of the attacks. The Deku looked shocked at Link's shouting but finally said," Her name is.... Her name is....
*: Just wondering, do Deku have waist? Could you please put it in a review? It would really help. Thanks,(
Author's Note: Major Cliffhanger! See the next chapter for the rest. Tell me how well I did on this one with the reviews. This is my first one so try to get others to read it somehow. I am not getting many reviews on this story yet.
